Larkin v Accident Compensation Corporation
- Citation
- [2014] NZACC 311
- Court
- District Court
The Reviewer and ACC failed to properly take into account mandatory factors in Schedule 1 clause 14, in particular the claimant's age and the unreasonable expectation that family members provide indefinite full-time care; this was an error of law or resulted in a plainly wrong decision, so the Reviewer's decision is overturned and funding for 24 hour care is required.
